After reading more, I feel concerned for network security if the blocks grow so much. It's clear it would be easily detected by opperators, and they would have incentive to cut it if they support a big bandwith usage growth from to much customers.

Bitcoin can't scale much, that's it.

Let's scale it a little bit when we will have a more clear consencus and everybody would be ok to increase block size at 2 or 5 mb.

Our votes don't matter, but if I could, I would have edited my yes for a no

At that time, I tought it was 20mb, but 20 doubled every two years is too much risky

So you are sure that there will be no technical trick to solve this issue. You are 100% sure about this. Of course you also know the lottery numbers and what the exchange rate will be in a couple of years.

I'm sure that having a huge network flow is a very big risk for the network, I'm sure that less nodes, with big infrastructures is more risky.

I'm sure that 20mb x 1.4 x year is huge and that it's impossible that the risks have been studied carrefully and tought acceptable.

I'm sure that some countries can't afford so much bandwith

I'm sure that it will be harder to maintain, easier to cause networks splits...

I'm also sure than when blocks will be full, a quick fork with consensus (that we can plan right now) will be implemented quicly.

So, I will stick my coins offline for some time, and be sure to not follow the fork, just to be sure.

(for sure there will be technical tricks, and do you think this fork will go smouth executed right now ?)
